The BasicVideo is a set of components, based on OpenWire technology for fast video capture, playback, and visualization. They allow creating video capture and playback applications with zero lines of program code.

BasicVideo is small low cost subset of the more powerful VideoLab package. BasicVideo is designed for developing only video capture and playback applications, and has no video processing, mixing, or broadcasting functionality included.

BasicVideo supports both the old fashion Win32 API (VFW), Audio ACM and DirectShow (DirectX), and even allows if needed any mixture of them. The developer can choose to go with any of them, to use both, or can switch from the one to the other at any moment. The components hide the complexity of both approaches, and make them look almost identical from the users prospective.

Also includes Visual Graphical Editor for Codeless Development and Visual Live Bindings.
